Istanbul meetup sold out in 2 hours and 150 people came

Istanbul meetup sold out in 2 hours! ~150 people came. The team at @eachlabs booked a wonderful venue and organized everything! They even brought baklava, and I ate one on stage 😅 Tip: Twist the baklava upside down so it's doesn't drip. My dear friend @alexwestco flew from Cyprus to give a little speech too. He's been going from 0 → $1M → 0 again. He summed up 10 years in a 10-minute speech. I've been humbled by how welcoming Turkish people are. Everybody is just so kind and warm! Thanks to everyone who joined yesterday, it was awesome seeing you ❤️
